Verse 1
He strode down the hall, out into the street
His spurs they were jingin’ at the heels of his feet
The dust swirled up ‘round the gun on his chaps
The sun it beat down o’er the brim of his hat
He shoots a look left; at a glance he looks right
The bad man is nervous he knows he must fight
The sheriff keeps headin’ towards the saloon
While the town clock counts down to high noon

Verse 2
The outlaw Black Bart had held up the stage
With his gang robbed the bank, kicked a dog in his rage
Now Bart is squirmin’ with the sheriff’s approach
He sneaks out the back, well that low-down cockroach
Bart’s days are numbered, he’s gonna go down
No man does these things in Sheriff Ron’s town
Ron and his posse start to close in
Bart’s gang gives up, they know they just can’t win

Chorus
In the best of the west right always wins
Truth might be down, but it will get back up again
Just when you think all the good guys are gone
Into the story will ride Sheriff Ron

Verse 3
The gang’s day is through, Bart steals a horse
Ron ridin’ Thunder sets an intercept course
Bart starts to laugh, he thinks he’s been sly
Ron heads him off in the pass at the Y
Now what happened next you could call a divorce
Ron strung a high-line and Bart lost his horse
Bart come off backwards, the ground met his head
They both pulled their guns, commenced throwin’ lead

Chorus

Verse 4
After both six-shooters shots had been spent
The two men locked horns, this is how the tangle went
Advantage to Bart, then it swung to Ron
The two old bulls went at it ‘till their strength was nearly gone
When the dust finally settled, Ron was still on top
He hog-tied old Black Bart with a rope and a good knot
Just then came a call from Sheriff Ron’s mother…

(female vocal)
(this line spoken) Johnny, will you please untie your brother! 
Put your toys away, are the chores all done? 
You two get in for dinner.
Settle down, wash your hands, tell your mother who’s the winner


(back to male vocal)
As the boys came in with their dirty grins, their day was all but gone
Jack says to Johnny… 


(male child’s voice)
Tomorrow I’m Sheriff Ron


(back to male vocal)
chorus
